One of the guys here in my club bought a couple and I had a chance to look at them.

They are all styrene, so bascically instead of a tank, airplane or ship, this is just another model, and would fall under normal building rules of styrene models. And they looked pretty good, I am sure with painting, weathering, rubble, etc, they can be made to look very realistic.

Best of all.....they are cheap!!!!

Well guys ... I have the answers to, at least some, of your prayers! Slodder has posted my review for their ukranian building tonight. Its only a "whats in the box" review with a few pictures. I am building this at the moment and its turning out quite nice. Only problem is hiding the joints of the vacuumformed sides. Other than that they are a grea deal!
Another "building review" will come later. For $13 you cant go wrong.

Silantra .. the second image of your post, is the cover for the accessory set. This is included in my building as well, so there are some pictures for you to check out!
